Watched this so many times. Steve Jones n Paul Cook really are solid Professionals.

@@marcjoseph1214 yeah me too - cannot thank you enough for uploading this pretty good footage. Thanks heaps.

[@LarzGustafsson]

The Professionals were fantastic!

[@johnnywomack548]

Steve Jones is one of the best rock and roll guitar players in history. Steve has the magic in his hands and his sound is the perfect example of the magical union of the Gibson Les Paul and the Marshall JCM800 amplifier.

[@craigchandler7958]

Don’t think Jones gets the accolades he deserves 🎶🎸

[@briandavitt9640]

Truth

[@jamesmclean6651]

100% I seen him in 2008 at the secc with the sex pistols

[@jonathansteadman7935]

Although his classic Pistols sound is through a Twin Reverb.

[@clausjahnel5379]

Absolutely agreed. It was definitely one of the better ideas of me as a youth to go see the Pistols in 1996. Would love to see Gemeration Sex, too. Hope they keep touring.

[@ricksuegreen1753]

Man I can't believe what I'm reading here. This is the best thing to happen to rock and roll in years. These guys are still learning to play together. I can't stop watching this. It's fking amazing and I never thought it would happen. Ready steady go, your generation and the pistols classics Wish I was there in the crowd. Tony on bass, Billy on vocals plus Paul and Steve tearing it up 1977 style🔥🔥🔥

[@Miodrag-yl4ce]

Absolutely Wright ,I fill like I'm back in 70s or 80s my favourite time for rock and roll

[@helmielisa]

Generation SeX . Two great band. Billys style is still full of Punk

[@rossrossa7596]

Billy Idol ++ Steve Jones = Gen SeX!!

[@B.T.R.-sj4if]

Steve has lost some serious weight - he had no choice, his doctors told him when he nearly died from a heart condition. 'Burny Guitars' provide him mostly nowadays and they give them to him for free. Steve HATES Gibson, even though here/on these gigs he still uses a copy of his legendary cheesecake Custom, and it is due to the way the previous management dealt with him, I mean for fucks sake you give someone of his stature what TF he wants - just look at 'who' Gibson endorses today, it is comical.

[@jamesskelton-zb3il]

110%

[@B.T.R.-sj4if]

My heart beams - look at Jonesy, he is just having a ball. Given he nearly died a few years back to have icons, true not wannabe 'icons' still with us and performing is an incalculable gift. I saw the 'Filthy Lucre' Tour, and I was off my face but will never ever forget Steve with his magnificent Gibson blue sparkler Custom in leopard pants with "SLAG" on his guitar strap. BTW Steve gifted that beautiful sparkling blue guitar to one of his very closest mates. It will NEVER be sold. Wish he'd asked for it back for these gigs.

Steve Cook: the Blueprint for all Punk Drummers

[@noserialkiller3596]

Generation X, The Sex Pistols and Sigue Sigue Sputnik all inspired us to make our quadruple-album. A solid performance by the band!! No Serial Killer.

[@purrcreative]

wow Paul Cook, Billy Idol, Tony James and Steve Jones W O W

[@Themeek66]

Back in the 80s I had a tape with Generation X on one side and Sex Pistols on the other. Loved both bands!

[@Miodrag-yl4ce]

My way ! In my opinion, this is the best version ever!!!!!!do you agree with me, old punk man grow up with with those legends we all enjoying today??

[@debbiesherstobitoff3546]

Generation X one of my favorite bands

[@johnblonde8589]

Very entertaining and Cookie played a blinder! Clearly looked after himself all these years, very impressive.

[@squiresquiffy3728]

Brilliant. Cook and Jones were on fire. Very enjoyable.

[@willieluncheonette5843]

Generation X's debut LP is my all time favorite punk album

[@robertmcmanus9185]

Yeah, it is unbelievable! Back in the day I made dozens and dozens of cassette tapes with KIss Me Deadly on them trying to get people to hear them. If you don't know them already try Teenage Head and their debut LP. Nothing like the Generation X debut, but it has that punk 'n' roll sincerity and originality of the first Generation X LP. People really don't get how great that first Generation X LP truly is. Pretty much perfect.

[@willieluncheonette5843]

@@robertmcmanus9185 Yes perfection. If you google THE TOP 15 PUNK ALBUMS you can read my writeup of it. I always recommend the British version, the way the band intended it. The American version is not as strong, swapping out 3 songs for three others. Listen, on the Brit version is as good as anything they did, missing on the US version. Yes, I know Teenage Head's debut and it's excellent. My 3 fav Canadian punk albums are DOA Something Better Change, The Subhumans' Incorrect Thoughts and Youth Youth Youth's Sin 12" EP.

[@henrydorsetcase]

@@willieluncheonette5843 I didnt know that about the Gen X album - thanks. I thought it was only The Clash that suffered that indignity!

4 of my early heroes. Jonesy is an awesome guitar player and cooky still rock steady. Awesome. And Billy just being Billy. Mr James showing he still has it too

[@AndrewEdmunds-s7p]

Not seen Gen X, but have seen the pistols but this is fucking cool

[@ianhitman]

These songs only sound like this with Cook and Jones playing. You cant duplicate their heart and soul.

[@regularnimnule9715]

That was a great gig last night. They smashed it. For me the highlight was that version of Black Leather. The video can't quite capture just how RAW Tony James' bass sound was. Awesome. Loved every second.

[@Miodrag-yl4ce]

They started together in 1975 band call ex pistols .later sex pistols .they have 1 good song call schools are prison Steve Jones singing

[@CornwallGhosts]

Hard to think Steve could not put two chords together once upon a time I believe he is one of the greatest guitarists in the world ever

[@blackmore4]

He's definitely the greatest guitarist doing the Sex Pistols sound ;) Virtuosity be damned! I rate 'Never Mind the Bollocks' as having the best rock guitar sound ever.

[@Miodrag-yl4ce]

Hi has few mistakes hey!but this is punk, we all loved

[@Miodrag-yl4ce]

I'm soo glad ,that Steve come back, sex pistols or generation sex kicking again, wish Jonny comes back with some new songs

[@doncowan7018]

What a great show!

[@drg3712]

I wish there was more Gen X tunes on the recording but all good. Steve Jones was just born to that sound. Great to see Paul Cook. Those four have such a catalogue between them, they could play for five hours.

[@marcjoseph1214]

Totally on fire, and Jonesy said: “this is our 5th gig so we’re a little rusty but we’re getting there” 33:35 so can you imagine when they’ve played 10 or 20 shows!

[@ASTRUM502]

They do sound very unrehearsed. I wish they'd played an equal amount of Generation X songs. Billy didn't know the words a lot.

[@AndyCooper761]

@@ASTRUM502 Same here. I imagine the range of Gen X songs available would be determined by which of them Jones could manage on guitar.

Looks like Billy is singing the lyrics from a teleprompter. Fair play ... as It's been decades since he last sang these Gen X songs. They still sound great! Always loved Gen X far more than his solo career.

[@ethanblackhurst8593]

There's only 1 Gen X song here.

[@herryhubert2706]

@@ethanblackhurst8593 There were many more during the gig. Especially Kiss me deadly really got me. Almost in tears.

[@TheRobman]

To be fair, it's almost all Pistols songs in this video, so those aren't his lyrics and he hasn't been singing them for that long.

[@herryhubert2706]

@@TheRobman That's Marc's choice. Billy isn't so well with his voice anymore, and funny enough he performed better on the Pistols songs. Maybe that's why Marc choose those. Or maybe personal preferences. Anyway, here's another video from the same show in Utrecht, that contains a few other songs. kzbin.info/www/bejne/p3qbfquVmLWop9U

[@BTR-xw4of]

Finally Gibson have produced a new run of Custom LP's for Steve after treating him like shit for a decade +. I once watched a sit down with Liam Gallagher and he said he would swap his entire OASIS back catalogue for one record - that record was "Never Mind The Bollocks". Now there is context. Steve Jones is such a cool sleazy bloke and as a guitarist he has created some of 'the' most iconic music in history. And his guitar strap collection is hilarious. He nearly died a few years back - thank God one of his best mates noticed something was not right and Steve went into have tests done and found he was extremely sick - but now he's back to just nailing it.

[@Easun36]

Punk rockers don't censor their own lyrics. "You cunt, give me a beer" instead of "you cunt, I'm not a queer" was beyond lame. Everything else kicked butt and I would go see them, but they need to regrow a pair.
